Deploy device templates
You can deploy a template that includes a set of configuration attributes to specific devices. Deploying a device configuration template on
the devices ensures that the devices are uniformly configured.
NOTE:
To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary user privileges. See Role-based
OpenManage Enterprise user privileges.
Before you begin deploying a device deployment template, ensure that:
• You have either created a device deployment template or cloned a sample template. See Create a template from a reference device.
• The target devices meet the requirements that are specified in Minimum system requirements for deploying OpenManange Enterprise.
• The OpenManage Enterprise Advanced license is installed on the target devices.
CAUTION:
Ensure that only the appropriate devices are selected for deployment. After deploying a configuration
template on a repurpose and bare-metal device, it might not be possible to revert the device to its original
configuration.
NOTE: During deployment of an MX7000 chassis template:
• The target device can only be the lead MX7000 chassis.
• If an MX7000 chassis is removed from group, it has to be rediscovered in OpenManage Enterprise.
• Users on the MX7000 chassis are replaced by the users who are configured in the template.
• Imported Active Directory settings are replaced with the values in chassis profile.
1. From the list of templates on the Configuration > Deploy page, select the check box corresponding to the template you want to
deploy, and then click Deploy Template.
2. In the Deploy Template: <template_name> dialog box, under Target:
a) Click Select, and then select device(s) in the Job Target dialog box. See Selecting target devices and device groups.
b) During deployment of the device template, the configuration changes might require a forceful reboot of the server. If you do not
wish to reboot the server, select the Do not forcefully reboot the host OS option.
A graceful reboot of the server is attempted when the Do not forcefully reboot the host OS option is selected. If the reboot
fails, you must rerun the template deployment task.
c) Click Next.
3. If the target device is a server, in the Boot to Network ISO section:
a) Select the Boot to Network ISO check box.
